About: I’m a responsible and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and providing pets with plenty of love and companionship while their owners are away. I’m primarily available for evening, weekend, and select weekday pet-sitting opportunities. My availability can vary depending on my work schedule, but I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to make sure I can provide consistent and reliable care for your pet. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet, follow their routine and special needs, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your furry friend is in caring, trustworthy hands while you’re away.

About: I have had my baby Dakota for 6 years, ever since she was a pup! I have seen all stages and loved her through them all. I would love to provide that same love to your baby when you are not around! After having Dakota, I definitely understand the term “a dog is a man’s best friend”. She has loved me through so many stages of life and helped me overcome a lot. I cherish her presence and company like no other. I would love to care for your baby as if they were my own while you are in need of time away. I work a 9-5. I will care for your pet in the morning before I leave and as soon as I return home. Then take them to the park to have a fun time and socialize. I live in a single family home. I will ensure your baby is cared for and receiving their exercise. For example, walks, activities outside, or even allowing them to frolic outside.

About: I like to observe the different personalities and traits displayed in their daily activities. Observing their behaviors to what they like and don't like and spend time giving attention to them. I'm working part-time right now at the moment but my schedule is flexible and definitely will fit in my daily routine which is greatly appreciated. I make space for the pet roam around, have lots of food and treats, walk them frequently, give them rubs and hugs, watch TV with them, give their space when needed and make sure that the house stays clean and safe by putting certain items up out of reach ensures that they don't chew or swallow objects that can be harmful to them.

About: I have had animals all my life, and quite the variety!!! I am experienced in caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, spiders, ferrets, etc! I have some horse experience as well, although I'm a little rusty, however, if you gave me a list I'd be sure to figure it out! I'm not afraid to ask questions, and I'm always making sure your furry friend(s) are handled with only the best care! I am very patient and observant, and I always try to stay calm in stressful situations. Currently I have open availability! I am spending my days with my babies and I am happy to take on some new furry friends to help out with! No worries if it's last minute, feel free to contact me and maybe we can work something out! I live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks to walk on! I plan on taking your pup on plenty of walks outside, or maybe even to a near by dog park if permitted!!! When going outside for walks or to a park, I am always very aware of my surroundings. I always will make sure there is a limitless amount of water offered as well.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Indian Head choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
